I thought the design of the internet provided redundancy but @virginmedia seem to have relied on one point for all of SW London. One broken cable kills TV, broadband and phone. Time to move provider.

We are having to play monopoly as the Virgin broadband is now down for the third day in a row in New Malden. We are unable to stream Christmas carols and watch cheesy Christmas films. This could make or break us :-) @virginmedia @ofcom #virginmedia #ofcom

@Mumma_haley35 @virginmedia Sounds that way. Unfortunately @ThreeUK seem to be having issues in KT2 as well, so even my 4G isn’t working very well on my phone. Telco needs to move into the modern world of customer service, maybe @Ofcom need to change their regulations.

So 4th different #virginmedia estimate time and date for returning service passes and surprise surprise they just extend the estimate again. They are making it up. Went from 5pm today to 9am Monday this time

@virginmedia your site states the issue will be fixed by 1600hrs today Friday and they laughed apparently it will take them days to install new cables and make the intricate connections to each fibre optic strand. They said they were likely to have it all working again on Monday

I can say that @virginmedia is giving me a proper nightmare before Christmas! I’m going to have 3 days with no Internet, TV and Phone... and they just push the fix date/time forward... should be fixed at 9 am, now they pushed to 5 PM... always that way! #fail #virginmediadown

@virginmedia Hi. I’m very well aware of the fault, the causes and the hard work your engineers are putting in to the fix the issue. All I and thousands of others want to know is a realistic timeframe to be reconnected. If we know it’s going to be days we can make alternative arrangements.

@IfIKnewThen @Tell2k @ThreeUK The point is, is that it’s Virgin Media’s obligation to keep their fee-paying clients informed with truth and transparency. Anything less is an insult. Accidents happen, (as with the fibre optic ****-up) but lying, misleading and manipulating is utterly deplorable, #leavevirgin

@virginmedia @Baxter53Katy @virginmedia if anyone estimated something was only a couple of hours, and it turned into 5 days (5 days compared to 3 hours is 6000% difference) there is something majorly wrong with the estimates. Especially if the pictures of the issue are anything to go by.

@MariaMCasey @virginmedia That's a very ambiguous sentence. Not clear whether they'll only pay for working days, whether they'll pay for all days but only after 2 working days, whether the time starts from registering or whether it started from when the service went out.

@Moi_Twitting @CorporalMum @Ofcom If this is true @virginmedia then it’s a disgrace as you provide this service for homes and not business. I know as I manage our Virgin Media BUSINESS service for my employers. If I don’t get compensation for the whole period of the outage I’m off. £128.50 pm + £33 pm mobile. 👋

@dodofrost @virginmedia No, it’s already showing 9 AM 23rd Dec... it’s a complete disrespect with the customer! If they had a fibre cable broken is not my fault, they should have a quick response for this kind of fault, a workaround, but no, they just keep pushing the date forward without any notice...

Appalled by lack of response from @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia to me, colleagues & most importantly thousands of customers struggling without broadband, phone or TV for at least 2 days. Lack of info and misleading fix times unacceptable. An urgent case for @Ofcom to investigate

Once again @virginmedia broadband and TV is not working. It’s a ******* joke! Every month our broadband and TV goes out at least three times. When our broadband isn’t down it’s often as slow as dial up. We are moving to Sky!

@virginmedia - 58 mins of my life I won’t get back. Retention team unable to provide attractive offer. Then 34 mins on hold to cancel contract - cut off with note saying “we are closed - call back tomorrow”. Truly awful service.

@virginmedia I've tried that again. No answer. There is no reply to my email to customer services. I posted a letter to customer services in Sunderland. I made sure to photocopy the dated letter, take it to post office with receipt for postage. Still no answer. Anyone work for this company?
